I often find that buying books online can be difficult as i like to have a quick look through it to see if it is going to contain the sorts of information and inspiration i'm looking for. Hopefully these book flip throughs will help people to make informed choices about the books and they will then go on to purchase the books supporting the authors and publishers.

If you have any requests for books you'd like me to do book flip through videos of please let me know and i'll do my best to film them and get them up on the channel as soon as possible.
